Something happy happened to me recently. I'm taking a class called gender theory at university. Teachers from foreign countries teach that class. Therefore, all classes are conducted in English. Moreover, half of the students taking the class are foreign students. At first, I couldn't speak well when discussing in group work. But I wanted to test my English skills, so I tried my best to express my opinion. It was frustrating that there were not many words I knew. However, the foreign students kindly listened to my English. I was very happy that they encouraged me in incomplete English and said, "OK, you did your best!" Also, I exchanged Instagram with one of the foreign students. In order to learn a foreign language from each other, I would like to get closer to each other. And I want to improve my English ability so that I can speak what I want to say or express.

Good afternoon, everyone. I have a question for you. How many people have never bought CDs to listen to music? There may be many people who have never bought CDs because there are plenty of subscriptions to listen to music these days. I think subscriptions are good, but I think it’s even better to buy CDs and listen to music. Today, I would like to tell you two reasons why I think so. The first reason is that CDs remain at hand as a thing. By purchasing CDs, you can also enjoy jacket photos and lyrics cards. You can also see jacket photos and lyrics on subscriptions, but when you actually hold CDs in your hands, you can discover various design details and creative touches which makes it even more enjoyable. The second reason is that listening to music from CDs gives me a sense of accomplishment and moves me more deeply. This is just my personal feeling, but with subscriptions, you can listen to many songs easily and quickly. That’s one of the good things about subscriptions. However, when I actually go to a CD shop, buy a CD, and listen to it, I feel a much greater sense of satisfaction and it truly touches my heart. I’ve personally had that kind of experience myself. For these reasons, I recommend buying CDs to listen to music. Of course, subscriptions that let you listen to many songs are very convenient, but I would like to recommend buying at least your favorite song or album on CD.

Hi! Today, I want to talk about Flute quartetto by Mozart. It is composed a flute, violin, viola, and cello. The music is elegant and light. I am going to play this music in my university festival next week. I wanted to play this song with my club member and asked to do it together. So, I am very happy now. This music looks like simple but very difficult. There is a little information written in Mozart’s scores so players often have to think the music on their own. I was taught my flute teacher how to play this music. After that, I feel like it plays a little easy. I want to become more well for next week!

The other day, I had to give a speech in English for class. I was too lazy to memorize my script until the day of the speech. Somehow, I learned it in one hour and went up to speak. But I forgot about half of it. I felt confident before I started, but when I stood in front of everyone, I got really nervous and messed up from the beginning. :'( I still have to do three more presentations like this. Honestly, I don’t really like English, so I really hate it. But I have to do it to graduate, so it’s a big pain.

Last weekend, I went to Enoshima with my friends for a short trip. We took the train from Yokohama, and the ride was very comfortable with a nice view of the sea. When we arrived, the island was full of people enjoying the weekend. The smell of the ocean and the sound of waves made me feel so relaxed. We walked around the shopping street, tried some snacks, and then had delicious seafood bowls for lunch. Each bowl was full of fresh tuna, salmon, shrimp, and other fish, and the taste was unforgettable. After lunch, we explored the beach and took many photos. In the evening, we climbed up to the observatory to watch the sunset. The sky turned orange and purple, and it was one of the most beautiful scenes I’ve ever seen.

Recently, Autumn season is coming in Japan! The temperature isn't too hot, and too cold. It's suit for me. And at the same time, this season is called Autumn appetite in Japan! It's meaning is that we have a lot of seasonal food in this season. For example, sweet potatoes, pacific saury, Japanese persimmon, and so on 🍠🐟 I couldn't eat much because it was so hot in the summer, so I'm glad I have an appetite As the name suggests, naturally I always get hungry. After school, recently I go fastfood restaurants!!Fast foods are good after working hard in classes! I can't stop eating now‼︎ Is there any seasonal food in your country?Please let me know!

I made japanese sweet potato cakes at home today. The ingredients are some sweet potatos, butter, milk, sugar, and a little salt. It's very easy and simple. Mash the boiled sweet potatoes, mix with the other ingredients, shape them into small sweet potatoes and bake them. It takes about 30 minutes. Homemade sweet potato cakes are lower in calories than other snacks and my children enjoyed eating it, so I'm going to make sweet potato cakes again😊

Speaking of entertainment apps, I have a lot to say. This noon, when I drove my car to my office, I saw a woman who stood in the middle of the road and watched some interesting things on her phone, then laughed a lot. It's really dangerous to do that, but I guess that something in her phone was really attractive. It's definitely a socialmedia app that provided short videos, games or other entertainments. Among these apps, Tik Tok may be the most popular one. People can post their own works whenever and whereever. Just to choose some of your pictures and make a video in several seconds with a model which you like, then post it online and receive many likes from your friends and strangers. It's really convenient forboth young people and elderly. Most of them dream of being famous suddenly one day ,because one of their videos gets a million thumbs-up.

Last weekend, ITZY had a fan meeting for three days. I went to all three days. I met many friends who are ITZY fans called MIDZY, and we ate meals together. It was so much fun. Every day for three days was really fun, but the last day was the most special for me. ITZY members came very close to the audience. I could see them very near, and I was really moved. Their smiles and performances were amazing. I felt so happy and lucky to be there. I realized again how much I love ITZY. From now on, I want to support them even more because they always give me energy and happiness.
